API Reference

The Knock API enables you to add a complete notification engine to your product. This API provides programmatic access to integrating Knock via a REST-ful API.

Client libraries

Knock offers native SDKs in several popular programming languages:

API keys

Knock authenticates your API requests using your account's API keys. API requests made without authentication or using an incorrect key will return a 401 error. Requests using a valid key but with insufficient permissions will return a 403 error.

You can view and manage your API keys in the Developer Dashboard. There are two types of API keys:

  • Publishable keys are only meant to identify your account with Knock. They aren't secret, and can safely be made public in any of your client-side code. Publishable keys are prefixed with pk_*.

  • Secret keys can perform any API request to Knock, they should be kept secure and private! Be sure to prevent secret keys from being made publicly accessible, such as in client-side code, GitHub, unsecured S3 buckets, and so forth. Secret keys are prefixed with sk_*.

Each Environment in your account has both a publishable and secret key pair. API requests will be scoped to the provided key's Environment.

Authentication

You must pass your API key to Knock as a Bearer token using the Authorization header.

Rate limits

Each endpoint in the Knock API is rate limited. Knock uses a tier system to determine the rate limit scale for each endpoint. When your request has been rate limited, the Knock API will return a 429 Too Many Requests error in response.

Knock's default behavior scopes rate limits based on the authorizing credential used in your requests. When you use a public or private API key to authorize a request, Knock will scope the rate limit for each endpoint by the environment associated with the key. If you use a signed user token as your authorizing credential, Knock will scope the rate limit by both the key's environment and the signing user. See our guide on enhanced security mode for more details on working with signed user tokens.

Batch and bulk endpoint deduplication rate limits

Knock's batch and bulk endpoints may also have an additional layer of rate limiting applied. For these cases, Knock will also limit the number of times you can update a specific entity over a given scale. These limits are in place to prevent too many duplicate modifications applied to the same set of entities.

When you exceed a batch deduplication rate limit, Knock will still return a success (2xx) response if it is able to handle the request. For any entities not updated due to a rate limit hit, Knock will return the data as it exists at request time. Knock will also include an x-ratelimited-{param} header. The {param} value will be the name of the request param within which the rate limit was applied. The value will be a comma-delimited string of the param values that were rejected due to a rate limit hit.

Knock can apply batch deduplication rate limits to all or part of a request. If Knock rejects a subset of your batch, you can expect to see the full set of requested entities in the response body, and the IDs of those that were rejected in the x-ratelimited-{param} header.

Batch Tier 11 update / second / entity

Idempotent requests

Knock supports idempotency so that requests can be retried safely without unintended side effects.

To perform an idempotent request, set an Idempotency-Key header on your request. This idempotency key is a unique value that you generate for each request. It is used to identify and prevent the duplicate processing of requests. If you retry a request with the same idempotency key within 24 hours from the original request, Knock will return the same response as the original request. You may use any string up to 255 characters in length as an idempotency key.

Idempotency keys can be random UUIDs, or they can have some meaning in your application. For example, if you are sending a notification after a user has placed an order, you could use a key that is a combination of the reason for the notification, the user ID, and the order ID (e.g. order-placed:user-123:order-456). If your user then cancels the order, you could use an idempotency key like order-cancelled:user-123:order-456. This will ensure each type of notification is only sent once, even if your system retries the request multiple times.

If you are making calls to Knock from a job queue, the ID of the job can be a good choice for an idempotency key. If the job fails and is retried, the same idempotency key will be used.

💡
The default idempotency window for the Knock API is 24 hours. If you're interested in configuring a different idempotency window for your account, please contact us at support@knock.app.
Supported endpoints

Bulk endpoints

Knock exposes several endpoints that enqueue and return a BulkOperation. These endpoints perform their logic asynchronously, and you use the BulkOperation record to track progress.

In some cases, a bulk endpoint will accept a large set of entities to perform some action upon. In others, a bulk endpoint will accept a set of filter parameters and then execute an action across a large set of data on your account.

See the Bulk operations section for more information on parsing and polling bulk operation statuses.

Pagination

All top-level API resources expose support for bulk fetches via a list method. For instance, you can list users, list objects in a collection, and list subscriptions.

Resources that return multiple entities support the same cursor-based pagination to interact with the resources, using after, before, and page_size parameters as well as returning a common format for the metadata associated with the page.

Query parameters

afterstringThe pagination cursor to fetch items after. Usually derived from the after cursor in `PageInfo`.
beforestringThe pagination cursor to fetch items before. Usually derived from the before cursor in `PageInfo`.
page_sizenumber (optional)A number between 1 and 50 that represents the number of items to return in the response. Defaults to 50.

Response format

entriesobject[]A list of items contained in this response
page_infoPageInfoMetadata about the page of data returned

PageInfo response details

afterstringThe cursor to use to fetch items after the last item in the list. May be null when there are no other items to retrieve.
beforestringThe cursor to use to fetch items before the first item in the list. May be null when there are no other items to retrieve.
page_sizenumberThe maximum number of items requested in the page
total_countnumberThe total number of items in this resource (up-to 10,000)

Errors

Knock uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of your API requests.

  • 2xx success status codes confirm that your request worked as expected.

  • 4xx error status codes indicate an error caused by incorrect or missing request information (e.g. providing an incorrect API key).

  • 5xx error status codes indicate a Knock server error.

Error codes

Here's a list of common

400

error codes you may encounter while working with the Knock API. We also provide additional context on how to resolve them.
actor_missingYou called a workflow with an actor that has not yet been identified in Knock. To resolve, identify the actor prior to passing their ID in a workflow trigger.
api_key_expiredYour API key has expired. You can regenerate one on the developers page of the Knock dashboard.
api_key_missingThe API key you provided is invalid.
authentication_requiredThis endpoint requires authentication. Check the Authentication section of this API reference for more information.
channel_invalidThe channel you supplied in this request is invalid. A common cause of this error is that the channel you're referencing has not yet been configured in the current environment.
incorrect_token_typeYou cannot call this endpoint with this token.
invalid_paramsThe parameters supplied in your request were invalid. Check the payload you're sending to Knock to make sure it's valid.
invalid_user_tokenThe user token supplied is invalid.
missing_jwt_signing_key

Your request needs a JWT signing key. You can learn more about JWT signing keys in our client authentication docs.

missing_user_token

This environment requires that you supply a `X-Knock-User-Token` header when using a public API key. You can learn more in our client authentication docs.

workflow_inactiveThe workflow you attempted to invoke is marked as inactive. To resolve this error, activate the workflow on its page in the dashboard.
workflow_missingThe workflow you attemped to invoke could not be found. To resolve this error, confirm that you're calling the correct environment and that your workflow has been committed to it.

Workflows

A Workflow orchestrates the delivery of messages to your end users. When you configure a workflow you'll determine which channels its messages should route to, what those messages should look like on each channel, as well as any functions—batch, throttle, digest—you want applied to the messages prior to delivery. A workflow is triggered by a trigger call, usually when something occurs in your product that you want your users to know about (e.g. a new comment.)

Triggering a workflow

Invokes the workflow with the given key for the given set of recipients. Each recipient will have a workflow run triggered for them against the latest committed version of the workflow in the environment.

Read more about triggering a workflow.

This endpoint will return errors in the following cases:

  • The workflow does not exist, or has not been committed to the environment
  • The workflow is inactive
  • The trigger data does not match the schema defined for the workflow (learn more)

Endpoint

POST/workflows/:key/trigger

Rate limit

Tier 5

Payload size limit

The workflow trigger endpoint enforces the following payload size limits:

  • The data payload must be no more than 10MB
  • The recipients list must not exceed 1000 entries

Path parameters

keystringThe key of the workflow to call

Body parameters

recipientsRecipientIdentifier[]A list of user idenitifers, object references, or inline recipient definitions to run this workflow for
actorRecipientIdentifier (optional)An identifier of who or what performed this action

tenantstring (optional)The id of the tenant that this workflow run should be associated with
dataobjectA set of key-value pairs to pass to the workflow trigger

Returns

workflow_run_idstringA unique UUID of this workflow run

Triggering a workflow with inline identifications

In the recipients and actor fields in a trigger call, you can optionally include maps of properties describing a user or an object. These can be properties describing a brand new user/object, or properties describing an update to an existing one. When this data is present in a workflow trigger, Knock will persist it as part of processing the workflow. This is comparable to direct calls to the identify user or set object APIs.

Each recipient and actor must have an id field set in addition to other properties (e.g. email, name, or phone number).

See our guides on inline identification for users and for objects for more details on this use case.
